The **CA-RSPNMB010** is a specialized RF (Radio Frequency) coaxial cable assembly typically used for connecting wireless equipment to antennas. It is commonly associated with industrial networking brands like **L-com** or **Moxa**. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic components and technical specifications. --- ### 1. Component Breakdown The part number defines a specific configuration of connectors and cable type: | Component | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector A** | **RP-SMA Plug (Male):** A "Reverse Polarity" SMA connector. It has the threaded shell of a male SMA but a female center socket. | | **Connector B** | **N-Type Male:** A larger, ruggedized threaded connector commonly used for outdoor or industrial antennas. | | **Cable Type** | **195-Series Coax:** High-performance, low-loss flexible cable (equivalent to LMR-195). | | **Length** | **1.0 Meter:** Indicated by the "010" suffix in the part numbering scheme. | --- ### 2. Electronic & RF Specifications As an RF component, its performance is measured by how efficiently it transmits high-frequency signals: * **Impedance:** 50 Ohms (Standard for RF data transmission). * **Frequency Range:** Typically rated from DC up to 6 GHz (Supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands). * **Attenuation (Signal Loss):** Approximately 0.3 to 0.5 dB per meter at 2.4 GHz. * **VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio):** Usually < 1.35:1, ensuring minimal signal reflection. --- ### 3. Physical & Material Properties The materials used are chosen for durability and shielding: * **Jacket:** PE (Polyethylene) or PVC, providing UV resistance for outdoor applications. * **Shielding:** Double shielded (Aluminum foil + Tinned Copper Braid) to prevent EMI/RFI interference. * **Center Conductor:** Solid or Stranded Bare Copper for maximum conductivity. * **Dielectric:** Foam Polyethylene (FPE), which maintains the spacing between the core and shield to ensure constant impedance. --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Wi-Fi Bridging:** Connecting an indoor Access Point (with RP-SMA ports) to an external high-gain antenna (with N-Type ports). * **Industrial IoT:** Connecting cellular or LoRaWAN gateways to outdoor mounting poles. * **Moxa Equipment:** Frequently used with Moxa AWK series wireless AP/Bridge/Clients.
